(personal/writing) What a week.

It's been a weird week for me. Monday was the only day that was really "normal" - the rest of the week I've been at my parents' house, and at various doctors' appointments. It's a little surreal, but I'll get over it. Next week is a semi-normal week, then I'm off again the week after for another round of doctors and treatments. I'm torn between feeling happy that they can depend on me (and know they can) and wanting to go back to being the kid again. Not pretty, but there it is.

And I'm writing again. I decided to go back to Velvet Box - I need Mom to read Dark Moon Seasons so I can bounce ideas off of her for the last book. So back to the novella.

I realized last night that I really didn't like the 3rd person take on this. I realized this morning that I need to get back to the strengths of my writing and storytelling: namely, explosions, magic, body counts and sassy heroines. (I love the word sassy, btw. It's just such an awesome word.) So today, I'm going to do some freewriting, add some damn magic into my world, give my heroine a backbone and figure out how to make the really good story in my head make its way onto the computer screen.

But first, I need tea.
